The answer to your questions is JMeter:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/index.html
Both IIS and Apache SOAP scale nearly perfectly;
as you add more soap server machines
performance increases nearly linearly.
In my experience the dominant factor in performance
is the back end logic / data stores.
Legend has it that Tomcat is not the Java
performance leader and that title is held by
Resin, WebSphere or something.
I suggest you go with JMeter on your application.

Subject: Performance : Tomcat vs IIS ( hosting Soap Services)
Hi
My Soap client is made in VB using MS-Soap
For Soap server i have two options : MS-Soap and Apache Soap.
But i want to develop a Soap Server, which can handle a good number of
requests simultaneously.
In such a scenerio, which one the following would perform and scale
better.
1) MS-Soap with IIS
2) Apache Soap with Tomcat
As far as i know, the following factors would effect the performance.
1) Tomcat is implemented in Java, IIS is implemented in VC++ (Component
based)
2) Apache Soap is developed in Java using Servlets, MS-Soap is again
Component based
3) Tomcat invokes a servlet to access Soap Service, IIS invokes a
ASP/ISAPI
to access Soap Service
Thanks
Regards,
Naresh Agarwal
